CA125 - Cyst with blood

Hi there, 
I'd a cyst that ruptured in November and resulted in a 4 night hospital stay. CA125 was checked a couple of weeks later, which was 48. Back for a follow up last week, there's a cyst on my right ovary with blood in it. The consultant has redone the CA125, along with some other blood tests. If the cyst doesnt disappear in a few months she'd like to remove it. Does any of this indicate cancer?

  • Hi Elizalou, 

    Unfortunately no-one here can answer this question but hopefully your consultant will be able to give you the answers and reassurance you're seeking once all the test results are back.

    Waiting for results is always tough, but you're not alone as many of our members have contended with cysts and raised CA125 levels so will understand what you're going through at the moment and hopefully you will receive some support from them soon.

    If you feel it may help to talk things through with one of our nurses, then you're very welcome to give them a call on 0808 800 4040, Monday - Friday between 9a.m - 5p.m.

    Fingers crossed everything will be o.k Elizalou.

    All the best,
